He is Risen!

Happy Easter: I absolutely love this day. I thought I would copy and paste Beth's Moore enthusiastic blog post comment this morning. It will invigorate you on this Holy Day!

Happy, happy Resurrection Sunday, my beloved Sisters! There is no day on our calendar like this day. It was without competition, the Father’s best day. As 365 days fly by on the annual calendar, this one is His favorite. Dance it away from dawn till dusk. Worship Him, study Him, seek Him, feast before Him, laugh before Him, hug the people you love before Him, kiss and cuddle those babies before Him, eat dessert before Him, hide eggs before Him, LIVE this whole day before Him. In Him, Through Him. With Him. Dance in the crowd of angels toasting. All emptiness is swallowed whole. He is our fullness. Celebrate this Day! He won it for you. Live it with all the life you have! Give those who know you but do not know Christ a glimpse of abundance alive and spinning in human flesh. Have a festival of praise. Death has lost its sting!

Enjoy your day!

Living with Menopuase

There goes all my youth

The only time a young girl can relate to a menopausal women is when she's pregnant

Start exercising when you're old? You've got to be kidding. Well, maybe if I can look like this

Do this or...

You'll get this...

Men On Pause (I'm sorry, I really am)

Do whatever it takes

I couldn't resist...After all the above, this is what we have to look forward to...

I'm out of here!

Freedom in Christ

What is freedom in Christ? Lord only knows that I am NOT an expert in this area, only one to comment after the 1st and 2nd layers have been removed from my eyes .

  I wonder how many more layers need to go because life is such a long process of stripping, waxing and sealing the inner person.

As David and I were driving to church this past Sunday morning, I had the overwhelming feeling of grief come over me, mixed with gratitude. I thought how I use to believe that very few churches, if any at all,  in our surrounding area were leading people to Christ and the people who attended those churches didn't have a close walk with God. Negative comments were always made about other religions and I never questioned what was coming out of the pulpit. One of the denominations that was always under attack is one that I'm attending now. And that is where the overwhelming grief floods my heart. I started to think of how solid this church is and how loving the people are that go there. How grace- filled they are and how David and I have had the opportunity to witness first hand at how they handle "sin in the church". We are  so, so thankful that our eyeshave been opened to that truth and so, so glad not to be "judging the brethren", in that way anymore. (disclaimer: we are all sinners, I unfortunately find myself still judging others, because of this fleshly body that encompasses me) 

Freedom in Christ?  I really have no clue, but am so excited that I am a work in progress..


Galatians 5:1

1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Over hearing a conversation

Setting: Government office-all chairs lined up one row behind the other, staring at the back of heads. Two ladies behind me talking.

Conversation goes something like this: "You know my three year old is Pisces?" " Oh yeah, my daughter is a Leo." " Well Pisces are pathological liars. THIS CHILD CAN LIE NOW. He will tell you something that happened months ago and make you believe it just happened." " Well, my daughter is Leo and she is so controlling. She has to be in control of everything." " Yeah, Pisces and Leo's are hard people to be around. Lord help us both." ( Why did I get the feeling that these mothers weren't very thrilled to be with their kids?) Oh well...........

Staring at the wall in front of me (thank God they couldn't see my face) and overhearing these ladies talk was about to kill me. Not the conversation, but not being able to say anything to them.

First of all, aren't we all born with a sin nature? Yeah, that's what I thought too.
 If you ask me, that really sounds better than being called a pathological liar. After all, my first born would be considered a Pisces and if we must, I would be a Leo. We would most definitely break that mold, well my daughter would anyway...

I remember putting all my stock in astrology when I was younger and it didn't offer much of a future or a hope for me.  I found myself sad listening to the two of these women.

 I began thinking how much satan is a liar who wants us to believe the opposite of what God has planned for us. How he comes to set captives free and makes old things brand new.

That's exactly what He wants to do for these ladies and their babies....
